2.2.4 Electrostatic Discharge Damage Prevention
Electrostatic discharge may damage devices and circuits. Improper treatment may cause the
switch to malfunction completely or discontinuously.
Move or locate the devices according to the measures of electrostatic discharge prevention,
ensuring the machine box connects the ground. Another measure is to wear the static-proof hand
ring. If there is no hand ring, use the metal clip with the metal cable to clip the unpainted metal part
of the machine box. In this case, the static is discharged to the ground through the metal cable of
the clip. You can also discharge the static to the ground through your body.
2.3 Requirements for Common Locations
This part describes the requirements for the installation locations.
2.3.1 Environment
The switch can be installed on the desk or the cabinet. The location of the machine box,
cabinet planning and indoor cabling are very important for normal system
’s function.
Short distance between devices, bad ventilation and untouchable control plate will cause
maintenance problems, systematic faulty and breakdown.
For location planning and device locating, refer to section 2.3.2
“Location Configuration
Prevention
”.
2.3.2 Location Configuration Prevention
The following preventive measures assist you to design the proper environment for the switch.
Make sure that the workshop is well-ventilated, the heat of electrical devices is
well-discharged and sufficient air circulation is provided for device cooling.
Avoid to damage devices by following the electrostatic discharge prevention procedure.
Put the machine box at the place where cool air can blow off the heat inside the machine
box. Make sure the machine box is sealed because the opened machine box will reverse
the cool air flow.
